The potential activation of calcium sensing receptor by deoxynivalenol contamination in piglets and the effects of vitamin supplements (D, E and C)

Diversification of feed ingredients by adding by-products or low-graded grains is a way to reduce feed cost in pig production. However, this strategy can introduce mycotoxins, especially deoxynivalenol (DON). DON has been showed to induce...
